We loaded some 230 cast to try there over 1500 fps, published speed. They shoot 18" higher then my 303s at 50 yards. a bout a 15" group at that range too, not as impressed as with the 303s. At 50 I get them to group about 8" Apparently I did not have my arms locked, I was shooting off a bench and bags, no stiches but bleed like an old guy on aspirin |

By scoped, I meant in the forehead.

I've seen it happen in videos but thankfully I've never had it happen to me.
I think I'll stick with .357's. I don't hunt with mine so it's mostly plinking and getting cracked over the head by a scope doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

Just watched Kentucky Ballistics shoot a 500 nitro pistol one handed. Turns out there is a 600 nitro pistol as well........May wanna steer clear of those......unless the PD's have plate carriers.
Ex-S-I-L did that with my DE in 50AE. The second,"oh sh**" shot almost took her head off. I grabbed it mid cycle before the third chambered completely. Knocked her muffs clean off and the barrel rib left a wide bruise on her noggin. She is an avid shooter and owns many. Gotta be prepared for those biguns or they will get ya every time. .........did the gun survive?

Adds character!
Lots of rifle shooter "creep" up on those pistol scopes. some brands of pistol scope 'encourage" less than adequate eye relief.

That's quite the picture. Never heard of anyone getting skulled by their revolver scope but it's gotta happen often. You did good not busting glasses or an eyeball. lol. Got scopes on a .375 supermag, .44 mag, .454 casull and the .500. Spose the casull and .500 could certainly do this if they weren't held onto properly. Reading stuff like this always good reminder to hold onto those bigger buggers and learn from others experiences

keeping with OP, I watched a guy shooting his 500 pistol, about every 4th shot he knocked his hat and ear protectors off.
